It's like you can see a glimmer of him in the future, but he just sounds so flat in these. Before he developed his style. Is this him trying to hard to go Ian Brown or something?
Sounds a bit better here:

I don't think it sounds too great either but to be fair a lot of the bands in Manchester at the time that Liam would've been influenced by had vocalists like Sean Ryder, Ian Brown and Tim Burgess who had awful voices.

Manchester based 'City Life' magazine in 1991 described the vocal in a review of 'Colour My Life' and 'Take Me' in the Christmas edition as being Which sums up the whole arse end of the baggy scene attempting to sound like average to poor singers who My Big Name has already mentioned. The later demo sessions with The Real People at the Porter Street Building in Dock Road and in particular Chris Griffiths laying down guide vocals for Liam to sing cannot be overstated in their importance in developing the latter's vocal, which I think can be heard clearly in phrasing when comparing Oasis and The Real People vocals. The review in 'City Life' went on to say that the reviewer (Chris Sharratt (music editor)) found the two tracks "interesting, but I'm not too excited" and described 'Take Me' as being "urgent and weird, sort of Inspiral (Carpets) on psychedelics". The quotes can be found on the pre-Definitely Maybe era pages of Mr Monobrow's website- Monobrow Demos Link

I actually think he sounds alright on "Colour of my life", but the other two tracks had me laughing at how bad he sounded. The progression from that into the charismatic, relentless Liam that we all know is like seeing one of those maps showing the evolution of man.

He was still trying to find his identity as a singer, I bet the guys from The Real People gave him some advices.

At least he was really singing instead of shouting(2000-...).

He hadn't smoked nearly enough fags at that age.

But my favourite gigs to listen to are the ones from '96.

Liam was never such a good singer as he was in 1994 / 95, he was already slipping in 1996.

Whilst my favourite concert is Maine Road, I think his best performance could well be his live vocal on the playback of Live Forever on TOTP, save a handful of voice cracks. It's almost identical to the studio recording. However, that's not to say he didn't give a blinding vocal on songs like Don't Go Away a bit later on. I think the Lyla album version is the best he's recorded post BHN. You can definitely hear a bit more of a nasal tone come in when performing in '96, compared to the cleaner sounding versions in the 2 years before. With an exception of maybe '95, every year was a decrease from the last. Actually, by '08 he picked up a little.

Ive said before that the overall oasis experience is main road without a doubt but purely Liam has to be earls court 95, his voice has matured slightly from 94 and still had all the range. Knebworth was probably the 1st gigs where you could tell something was up with his voice, that thin nasely tone starting to come through. 1997 was a deeper tone then it just more gravely until maybe 2006 when it just gave up, by the last two years it was a shell though I would agree he pulled it back abit in 2008 though it didnt last long, his beady eye efforts were mostly a mixed bag with some strong performances dotted around. as someone said, Liam might be the only singer where his voice isnt the same from one year to the next, its probably leveled off abit since 2008 (he hasnt got better or gone down hill much since then) though its quite apparent leading up to the end of the DBTT tour. he probably wouldve got longer out of his ian brown style, clearly less destructive than his chosen style but I doubt Noels songs wouldve sounded half as good, one of those things where he burnt it twice as bright for half the time.

I feel sorry for him really because he couldn't really change his vocal style as people already accustomed to his signature sound and would maybe stop listening to him if he did so he was just sort of stuck destroying his voice a little more with every gig.

I think his best studio recordings were around the Be Here Now time. Have a soft spot for the Finnsbury park era sounding Liam though.

Haha, no. I just find it weird that Liam's voice gets better as time goes back until very early Oasis where he tries to imitate Ian Brown, who isn't that good of a singer anyway. ,
